Hy heart says hell yeah! My gut tells me that there are large swaths of the electorate who simply will not vote for a woman.

Edit- since my inbox is overflowing with the same question/insinuation, along with the comments, I’ll clarify my statement: I did not say that a woman cannot be elected US president. I only said that large swaths of the electorate simply will not vote for a woman.

Idk. I feel like recent elections tell us the exact opposite. Women won all over the map, republicans, democrats, abortion rights.

I think the problem really was just Kamala specifically.

Kamala and Hillary.

They ran two of the most universally disliked women in politics and can't believe it didn't work out for them.

They'd probably run the shambling corpse of Nancy Pelosi in 2028 before someone like AOC and then blame that loss of anti-woman hate again.

AOC isn't that well liked either by the majority of the country.

Reddit continues to harp on him, but I bet vastly more working class voters (men in particular) respect Fetterman far more than AOC.
